The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.5.0. This is
the first release of a new, faster release cadence that will see new
versions cut approximately every 4 weeks going forward. This release
sees design changes to plugins, most notably by now supporting the
manual collection and compilation of diagnostic data not strictly
limited to existing command output or file collection. Highlighted
changes are noted below.
Global
* Snaps are now created automatically whenever a change is pushed
to|main|. These snaps are available via snapcraft under|latest/edge|
* python3-magic is now a soft dependency, and if not present sos will
use a less sophisticated method for determining if a file is binary
or not
* |distutils|usage has been fully replaced by|setuptools|
Policies
* Added support for Anolis OS
* Added support for Circle Linux
* Added support for OpenCloudOS
* When loaded for an|sos collect|execution, a
policy's|remote_exec|will now directly use the loaded
transport's|run_command|functionality, rather than re-building
command strings
* The Debian policy has been updated to correctly identify many more
and newer Debian versions
* Fixed an issue with the RHEL policy that would prevent non-anonymous
upload to the failover SFTP server if a case ID was not provided
Report
* A "tag_summary" section has been added to the report manifest.json.
This is a dictionary with keys being tags that were created during
collection, with values being all files sharing that tag
* |sos_get_command_output()|timeout handling will now properly handle
the situation where a command's child process deadlocks but
the|timeout|wrapper was able to kill the parent process, but left
the child behind.
* Estimate mode for report will now report real disk usage, rather
than apparent size
Plugins
* New plugins:|containerd|,|fapolicyd|
* The|kernel|plugin will now collect|modprobe.d/*conf|files
* The|hpassm|plugin will now collect|show detail|output per array and slot
* The|crio|plugin now supports CoS systems
* The|dnf|plugin will now properly obfuscate|password|variable values
* The flow of plugin code execution has been changed
o |setup()|is now strictly for determining what collections to
perform, outside of calls to|collect_cmd_output()|in order to
build further sets of commands
o |_collect_plugin()|is now used to actually perform the
collections specfied by|setup()|. This now includes tailed file
collections which were previously part of|setup()|
o |collect()|can now be used to perform ad-hoc/manual collections
that are not strictly part of command output collection. If a
plugin needs to manipulate data from commands or system
information and then write it out manually (such as with
the|rpm|plugin generating package output), it should now be done
inside the|collect()|method
* The|composer|plugin has been overhauled and updated for the new
versions of composer
* Enablement triggers have been expanded for
the|xfs|,|nvme|,|firewall_tables|, and|krb5|plugins
* The|virsh|plugin will now collect more information about the
host/hypervisor system
* The various|ceph_*|plugins have been updated to collect the
appropriate data for both older and more recent versions of ceph,
including traditional installations and those deployed with|cephadm|
Collect
* Cluster profiles may now directly specify sos options to enforce on
per-node report collections
* Added a new cluster profile for Red Hat Ceph Storage 5
o This new profile/may/work for other Ceph environments deployed
with|cephadm|, but that is not tested
* Added a new|saltstack|transport
Cleaner|Mask
* The|--domains|option is now validated for items that look like a domain
* Fixed an issue where a file with encoding issues would be aborted
by|clean|, but left in the archive. Files will now either show
replaced content or be removed from the archive, rather than being
left unobfuscated in any manner
* sos will no longer attempt to obfuscate the temp directory the
archive is in before moving the archive at the end of cleaning
* Added a new parser to support IPv6 obfuscation
